Blue-crowned MotMot (36)

The Blue-crowned Motmot is a large tropical bird related to other colourful families such as the kingfishers, bee-eaters and rollers. Like most of the Coraciiformes, motmots nest in tunnels in banks, laying about three or four white eggs.

I did not have to go to far for this picture as they came to visit a tree just below our hotel balcony. Unfortunate the lighting was not the greatest and they did not stay for very long for me to race for the tripod ;-)

Hi
In CS3 adjusted levels, highlights and shaodows, removed noice in Neat Image and added sharpness in Focus Magic. I hope it is OK.

Thanks
